Hi Christine,
Welcome back to planDisney! I love utilizing the Disney dining plans because it turns your Disney World vacation into something that feels like an all-inclusive experience. Once you arrive, you don't have to worry about anything from transportation to your meals! There are two different options available, but my favorite is the
Disney Dining Plan because it includes sit-down meals. Sit-down meals are a must-do at Disney World because the food is spectacular and you can use these meals for
Character Dining Experiences.
Disney dining plans can only be added for vacations that include both a Disney Resort Hotel stay and theme park tickets. You can purchase this as a Disney Resort Hotel Package or it can be added afterward by modifying your initial reservations to include a Disney dining plan. To modify your Disney Resort Hotel Package, log into your
My Disney Experience account and click "My Plans". Scroll down until you see your upcoming reservation and then choose "Modify Reservation." If your stay qualifies, you should be able to choose to add a Disney dining plan by following the prompts. If you do not see this option or have any issues adding it yourself, call the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone number. They will be happy to assist you in getting this added to your reservation, and they can also add any room requests you have to your reservation during the call.
Once you get your Disney dining plan added to your reservation, make sure to check out all of the fantastic options for
advanced dining reservations. I like to make a plan for my high-priority reservations before the window opens to make reservations. When my reservation window opens, I jump online and go through the list starting with my top-choice reservations to make sure I can get my top picks. A top pick for me is always
Topolino's Terrace! It is a beautiful restaurant with killer food and a hard-to-beat view.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
